I feel that any collection of Pitcairn Island postcards has to have at least a few postcards showing the Bounty replicas. Here are two of my favourite MGM Bounty postcards. This series, I believe, comprises 37 different images, and a total of at least 165 cards if you include the various printings and varieties.
Included in the series are scenes from the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty, and also photographs of the Bounty replica when she was on display as a tourist attraction at various locations in the United States.
